Tools required

Clean cloth or microfiber towel

Parts

Driver side wiper blade × 1 — 26-inch blade, Use OEM specification
Passenger side wiper blade × 1 — 22-inch blade, Use OEM specification

Preparation

Park vehicle on level surface and turn off ignition
Optionally clean the windshield and wiper arm contact areas with washer fluid to remove debris

Procedure

1
Position driver side wiper arm
Lift the driver side wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright service position. The arm should stay vertical on its own.
2
Remove driver side wiper blade
Locate the release tab or button on the wiper blade connector where it attaches to the arm. Press or pull the release mechanism while sliding the blade downward along the arm hook to disengage it. Remove the old blade completely.
3
Install new driver side wiper blade
Align the new 26-inch wiper blade connector with the wiper arm hook. Slide the blade upward onto the hook until you hear or feel a distinct click indicating it is fully locked in place. Gently tug the blade to confirm secure attachment.
4
Lower driver side wiper arm
Carefully lower the wiper arm back to the windshield, supporting it with your hand to prevent it from snapping down forcefully against the glass.
5
Position passenger side wiper arm
Lift the passenger side wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright service position.
6
Remove passenger side wiper blade
Press or pull the release mechanism on the passenger side blade connector while sliding the blade downward along the arm hook to disengage it. Remove the old blade completely.

Install new passenger side wiper blade
Align the new 22-inch wiper blade connector with the wiper arm hook. Slide the blade upward onto the hook until you hear or feel a distinct click indicating it is fully locked in place. Gently tug the blade to confirm secure attachment.
